Thanks for that alfa.
I wish they had shown more of the landing though. Thats the tricky bit.

I saw this and the entire program on BBC America as what I think is a series (Armstrong and then Apollo Wives) on the 40th Anniversary of Apollo 11. I thought that this program was very well done with interviews of Alan Bean - Apollo 12 - Nov.'69 and Harrison Schmitt - Apollo 17 - Dec.'72. FYI: James May is one of the 3 co-hosts of the marvelous Top Gear auto program on BBC America AND is a licensed private pilot.
Another FYI: The Bill Rutan / Paul Allen / Richard Branson Collaboration of SpaceshipOne made astronaut altitude in Oct. 2004 with a Second Sub-Orbital flight of 111.996 kilometres (69.591 mi / 367k feet) with their test pilot, Brian Binnie, thus winning the Ansari X Prize and giving Mr. Binnie and Mike Melvill (Previous flight of Sep.29th, 2004) FAA civilian astronaut badges.

There is a SR-71 at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson Ks. Awesome bird.
They had to build the building around the bird and make the building so that if the AF wanted it back they could take apart the building and get it.
